We heard the heartbeat!

WE HAVE NOW HEARD THE BABY'S HEARTBEAT! YAY!

My brother came over with a recording of it on his new phone. He said, "Mom, Paige," (my dad wasnt home...poor dad), "I have something to show you." and he played it for us and we were smiling and congratulating him. Mom asked him how it made him feel. He said "Honestly...I cant stop smiling. I'm really happy." I'm so glad my brother is excited to be a dad...even if this wasnt planned and he's only 18.

He's moved out and lives at his girlfriend's house now...its lonely around our house without him. I MISS YOU BRANDON!! I have no one to yell at for swearing at the xbox360 when im trying to sleep now! haha
but he came over today. we didnt do much, played temple run on his phone and i showed him my drawings. he liked them yay! and then mom and dad came home from a party at mom's friends house. so they got to see him for a while. he was rocking back and forth in the rocking chair and kept purposely almost knocking moms ugly tree twigs over going "ooop ooop!" lol dork! and the cats have a new habit of climbing on the fridge. well mom was looking through the mail and got a magnet from the Emergency Vet Hospital down in Portsmouth that we used to take our old cat and just as soon as she got done saying "We better keep this. we might need it!" Spedward just about fell off the fridge. we were like laughing wicked hard. it was funny it was rather good timing.

Brandon treated me to KFC! THANKS BRANDON!

PICTURE TIME.

Me and my brother

China

My friend from the internet Xiaolong Ma, is from Shenyang, China. He likes to take pictures of his surroundings for me, hoping he will help me better understand the country and culture. I wanted to share some of his pictures with you. But just so you know not all these pictures are from Shenyang. They are from other parts of china too.

RE: Cyborg 009 Movie

Yay my favorite anime as a child Cyborg 009 is going to be a movie!! The title is RE: Cyborg 009. I cant wait until it comes to america! Hopefully it will be english dubbed because i cant keep up with subtitles! but if  you are reading this and havent heard of 009 i'll introduce you to it.

so there is this organization called Black Ghost Organization, and they are run by the black ghost entity himself. What they do is create ultimate fighting weapons out of humans, thus them being cyborgs. In the anime 9 normal humans were kidnapped from all over the world and transformed into cyborgs, the first four of them being cryogenically frozen so that they can come from the past into the future. They rebel against black ghost along with one of the scientist who created them and now they have to stop him. here are the cyborgs!

School (updated)

Hi again! How are you all?
No new talk about the baby yet. so im going to keep posting random crap. ENJOY!

so this one i figured i would dedicate to my school days with my friends. I had so much fun with my friends in  school. yes the work was hard and boring, but i loved being with my friends and i would love to go back to being a high schooler.
enjoy.


I figured i should start off with, but my first grade teacher, Ms. Hahn. She's like a second mom to me and my friend Karlina. She came to our birthday parties even! haha. but sadly she moved to Wyoming. WE MISS YOU MS HAHN!!

Me in first grade. wasnt i cuuute! hahah. thats karlina's mom with me. This was in the morning before school started

Me and karlina! best friends since first grade! love you karlina!! Best friends till the end!

One of karlinas birthday parties i went to as a kid!

Okay enough of elementary school! onto middle school? no haha because i have no pictures from middle school. Okay so onto high school!


This is the high school i went to, Spaulding High School. Its nice on the outside but really old on the inside. but they are doing new things to help with that.


This was my favorite class, Graphic Arts. We had so much fun in that class. We basically used photoshop to photo manipulate and then used QuarkXpress for a layout program to make things like books, brochures, business cards, event tickets, etc. We even printed them on printing presses and then used die cutters to cut the printed product and shrink wrappers to wrap up the finished product. For the whole printing and die cutting we had to go through safety training and prep which was boring but was absolutely necessary  as the equipment was dangerous.

I will name off the people in the picture:
Top (left --> right): David J, Teddy C, Adam O, Erin F, Me, Mr. Comita
Bottom (left --> right): Jasper W, Kelli V, Miranda A
The only ones missing were Jon C, and Karlina C

More pictures from graphic arts:
note: these two girls Kim and Trista were not in the same year as us so by the time the class picture above was taken they were already graduated

more graphic arts pictures:

haha i love the face Erin is making in this photo.

Kelli with a project she did, which was to make a cardboard cutout of herself. We all laughed when it came out taller than her.

our awesome teacher Mr. Comita. He was funny and he cared a lot about his students. I believe kids dont care how much you know until they know how much you care.

lol lots of graphic arts pictures. but heres some other pictures from high school.

my friend AJ in art class. He joked once and said he wanted to be a professional pencil sharpener and then from that day forward we made him sharpen our pencils whether he wanted to or not haha.

my friend Kelsey, who was also in mine and AJ's art class.

This lol is my friend Emma. She wanted to be The Hulk. and we were in photography together and I took the picture and developed it for her. To bad it didnt develop the greatest.

My cousin Jessie at the main entrance of Spaulding High School.

Well thats it for school. Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with me! see ya soon!

chinese festivals

晚上好朋友！
lol im learning chinese! that says "Good evening friends!" i've been learning chinese for about a year now. im getting pretty good at it. i've written a letter to my friend Xiaolong all in chinese characters (though i wouldnt be able to do it again because i havent practiced in a while) haha. maybe someday i'll show you the letter but right now im to tired to scan it.
this is xiaolong

he's going to some festivals soon, one is 中秋 which would be read as Zhongqiu. Its a festival that the chinese have during the mid autumn. not sure what they do there he didnt tell me, im hoping to have him explain it next time he emails me.
the second festival is 国庆 or National day. Im assuming its got the same idea as 4th of July here. but im not sure how they celebrate it. again i'll have him explain it.
for the festivals he's going from shenyang which is where he lives to Taiyuan which is 13 hours and 44 minutes away. then he's going to Datong which is 11 hours and 32 minutes from his house. holey moley i'd hate to be him! i hate being in the car! lol well he said he'd take pictures and he always takes good pictures so im looking forward to seeing them! 
have fun xiaolong!!

 

friends intro

Hey again! So whats up? i hope your doing well.
So the word is out! the family knows that Brandon and Brittney are expecting! and everyone took it alot easier than we thought they would. Brett was mad for a while but he calmed down, Amber cried, so did my grandmother i call Nanny. My dad was the one Brandon was the most scared to tell. He's not violent he's very calm. but when he gets mad he'll let you know. and then he wont talk for days on end.
But yeah everyone is very supportive of the two so that makes me happy. and they already have a ton of offers for babysitters. so im pleased with how well things are going already for them. :-)

so i want to introduce you to other people in my life.
my best friends!
Karlina! i've known her since i was 6 years old. (yeah we are 21 and still best friends. everyone thinks thats impressive)

Sammy! i met her in the fourth grade. we were friends up until high school but then something happened in her life and she had to go her own way but now she's back and we are great friends again!

this is my beautiful cousin jessica. she's so awesome. she's like a little mini me. she's into alot of the same things im into. she's like a sister to me.

This is my beautiful cousin Kate. She's Jessica's older sister. She's brandons age. She's a bit spazzy but she's responsible when she needs to be and has great work ethic. Im proud of her. she got her LNA license before she graduated high school. She recently got her hunting license too. she's also like a sister to me.

 

The guy acrossed the street brian. i dont talk to him much but his picture was there so i said what the hell and put him on.

My friend ryan. hes awesome sauce (and cute) so i put him on here.
